John's face changed the moment Logan said those words. They have come a long way to get into Source Wall and take the huge risk of irritating Perpetua to come here and kill the Beyonders. And they were easily able to do that but it seemed like they had targeted the wrong person from the beginning itself.
"What are you talking about? Your poor ass body can't hold the power of Beyonders no matter what. The magic and the power required to kill an Owen via suicide across the Void and the Source Wall. You will never be able to do it." John said.
"That+ is true but if I die here or just give a hint to Dr. Strangfate that I am in huge danger then he has the power to let the avalanche come down and destroy your meticulous plans and mission." Logan was still giving a confident smile while saying this.
Wanda and others had finally reached the place where John was holding down Logan. Everyone had heard what Logan had just said and it sent a chill up their spines. They had come a long way and undertook an uncomfortable journey just to kill the Beyonders and even after that they might not win.
"What do you want to do with that, Logan? Even if you can do that, at the end we will escape the catastrophe and later we will give away our lives hunting you down and killing you and your so called bands of misfits will be running dogs who we will hunt down. And for sure we will call more superheroes from all of the multiverse. Then I will see where your so-called courage is." John said in a threatening tone. He never liked being threatened and that too by someone who had no power over him.
"Are you sure you will do that? Are you sure that the guilt of so many lives would not weigh on you?" Logan was still smiling when said that. He had a mad look on his face and it seemed like he was enjoying even after he was chained by Enkidu.
Wanda and others were still silent and didn't know what to say. Lucifer couldn't hold it anymore he started raining punches on the face of Logan. And even after a minute of punches and even kicks on his face he still had the same menacing smile on his face. The bruises caused by the assault were already healing that was visible in the naked eye.
"So what are you going to do? Kill me and risk the lives of trillions of people or let me go." Logan said. There was silence on the scene. John sat down on the floor with an exhausted face. He had taken the risk of his own life while coming here.
In fact when John decided to come here he was ready to give away his own life if it was required. Perpetua was too powerful for them and it was her home ground so they have been very cautious. But now even after all the precautions and even winning the battle they have been told that they would still loose. It was a huge blow for John and others.
"You will still trigger it even after we leave you alone. Don't you?" John asked slowly.
"Oh it seems like you are smart enough." Logan said.
"Why do you want to do this? Why? I don't think we have ever done anything bad to you and your other versions are good and honest." John was confused. In the comics they have been portrayed in rather a good way, though the problem with Dr. Strangefate was debatable but at the core they still have a good enough reputation with themselves.
"You don't need to know why we want to do this." Logan said in a rare serious tone other than giving others an evil smile.
"Now I understand why the last Beyonder gave an evil smile before he hit the sack. From the start itself the game was rigged." Barry said.
"So all that we have done is going to undo anyway?" Jean was shaking in anger when she heard about what Logan was blabbering about. She couldn't believe that a variant of her own friend could be so evil as to destroy a multiverse for his own selfish reason. Her friend would rather give away his life than commit such a heinous crime.
"Then why not kill this dung beetle and get on with it. Since he is going to pull the trigger, why should we care for his life." Lucifer said as he conjured up a big machete in his hand to hack at Logan. He wasn't reconciled that their multiverse might die and that too with a bang.
He was angry that he might lose his night club.

"You can kill me for sure but if you do that Owen will die the moment my heart beat stops and if you let me go, Owen will commit suicide 10 months later. That was the predetermined time anyways." Logan was speaking in a very calm tone and it didn't seem like he was fazed by the fact he was speaking of the fate of the multiverse and killing trillions of different species.
John was now in contemplation of what his next move would be. He would have to contact Eternity and let him find Owen in all of the multiverse and kill each and every Owen who is still influenced by the power of Beyonders. Kill each one before they could even understand what was going on. Only in this way could they win this race against time.
He wasn't sure of how truthful the words of Logan were as he wasn't sure if Logan had the power or not , but he didn't want to play games with such a large population and regret later for the rest of their lives. John could only hope that the 10 months time gap was the truth.
This would be a shot in the dark but at least now they have time. There are various smart minds working at the Avengers facility and they would have enough time to come up with something.
"I say we kill him. Who knows if he is speaking the truth or not." Lucifer said as he was still angry thinking of the fact that his night club and penthouse might be gone. Wanda and others were still shaken and in the depth of their heart they really wanted to kill him but the responsibility of such a huge decision was weighing on them and they didn't want to gamble.
"John, you are the leader here. What should we do?" Barry asked in a low tone. He didn't want to be the person who would take tough decisions. John was always the person who had better knowledge of the Source Wall, even better than Batman who once sat in the Mobius Chair.
John was looking at Logan with sharp eyes and thinking if he should trust him. Bruce Wayne and Logan were always someone who could be trusted in their respective worlds but here. He wasn't so sure any more.
"Will you keep your word if I do this?" John asked.
"No, John we should kill him now." rare words came out of Thanos' mouth. In the whole journey he had been mostly silent and never went against the orders of John or any other person for that matter. But he was forced to open his mouth. John looked at Thanos with cold eyes and didn't answer him. He knew that Thanos like many others wouldn't choose to believe Logan and kill him here but he has read the world more times than he could count off. Especially during the last few months.
He needed immense knowledge and comics were the best in this regard. Dr. Strangefate was not a joke and he might just have the power to kill the multiverse. Any Doctor Strange in itself was a very powerful being but they had their moral code. So John hoped that Dr. Stangefate had the moral code and abided by what Logan said here.
10 months would be enough to bring down each and every kind of Owen. The abstract beings would be called for this and thus it would be easier and faster. It was time for TVA to show their effectiveness and let the Time Keepers come down to help.
"I will let you go. And I know that the Source Wall would be broken. But you are forgetting the most basic thing. The Source wall is in the Void of our multiverse. Even if it breaks, the multiverse wouldn't fall apart unlike the other multiverse. So we will be safe. But the Wall breaks. Run and hide.... RUN and HIDE because we will come for you. Not Perpetua nor Batman who Laughs would be able to stop us from killing you and your entire band. I didn't want to dip my hands on the filth of the Dark Multiverse but you have forced our hands. We will hunt you down and kill each and everyone of you."
"Hahahaha.. Of course you will. We have always known that your band will come along with that band of half dead Justice League. Ha.. I heard Batman is dead there. What a shame!! Anyway if you don't come for us, we will come for you. Let's see who will be the hunter and who will be the hunted." Logan said as he was smiling. John clenched his fist in anger and almost blasted him away with his magma hand which was flowing down due to his anger.
He really wanted to kill Logan.
